A press conference is scheduled shortly. Does not look good.
I really liked Halladay, even when he was a Philly.
So sorry.
RIP.
BTW. Who is Roy Halladay? Never heard of him.
Former MLB pitcher for the Blue Jays and Phillies. Two-time Cy Young Award winner. One of the best pitchers in the last 20-30 years.
Roy Halliday is my son’s baseball coach. I can’t even at the moment.
Prayers for his loved ones if he's the person killed in the crash. RIP.
“Former MLB pitcher for the Blue Jays and Phillies. “
Never heard of ‘Roy’.
Only ‘Doc’!
Pasco county sheriff just confirmed it was Roy Halladay and he is deceased.
I can’t imagine what his family is going through. They are lovely people.
Shame! As I said upline...I always liked and respected him. Very sorry to hear this. RIP.
One of only two pitchers to throw a no-hitter in the postseason.
Prayers.

The story says he was flying an ICON A5 with a Rotax engine. I don’t think he’s the first to die in one of those and he won’t be the last.
Ballplayers and airplanes apparently don’t mix. Ask Thurman Munson. Or Cory Lidle.
We had Fernandez, Ventura and now this. Three star pitchers die in accidents in just over a year. Damn.
Phillies fan and Im shocked. Id watch him when he pitched a game for the Blue Jays.
